Chiefs earn Super Bowl berth with AFC championship win over Titans

Source: Washington Post

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl after denying the Tennessee Titans what would have been a third straight stunning upset during these AFC playoffs.

Mahomes, the brilliant third-year quarterback, threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as the Chiefs beat the Titans, 35-24, Sunday at blustery Arrowhead Stadium in the AFC championship game. The Chiefs have a generational quarterback and are headed back to the Super Bowl for the first time in multiple generations. They’ll face either the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay Packers on Feb. 2 in Miami.

It will be the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl appearance since January 1970, in Super Bowl IV, and it will be the first Super Bowl appearance for Mahomes, the league’s MVP in the 2018 season who made a rapid recovery this season from a dislocated right kneecap and returned to the lineup after missing only two games. He now has been handsomely rewarded.

Mahomes is ridiculous. It should be fun to watch him in the Superbowl.

Ayatollah Mystified That He Is the Only Dictator Trump Dislikes

TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)—Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is “completely baffled” as to why he appears to be the only dictator whom Donald J. Trump does not like, the autocrat said on Monday.

Speaking to reporters in Tehran, the long-reigning tyrant expressed puzzlement and dismay that Trump had not given him the adulation that he has showered on seemingly every other totalitarian in the world.

“Trump loves Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman, and he’s even given Kim Jong Un a cute nickname, but, for some mysterious reason, I leave him cold,” the visibly saddened Ayatollah said. “I just don’t get it.”

Khamenei initially tried not to take Trump’s distaste for him personally, he said, “but when it became clear that he liked even second-tier strongmen like Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Turkey, and Rodrigo Duterte, of the Philippines, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt.”
